Super Genius

"Haha, Yi'an District has finally produced a true super genius!"

Jiang Nian watched Luo Feng step down from the Neural Reaction Tester, his face flushed with excitement.

He strode over and gave Luo Feng a hearty slap on the shoulder, then said eagerly,

"Luo Feng, my future contribution points at the martial arts hall are all counting on you!"

Luo Feng only smiled faintly. A win-win for everyone would be best.

"Luo Feng, with your strength improving by leaps and bounds, Limit Martial Arts Hall can make an exception and let you join early."

Jiang Nian said impatiently.

Luo Feng had been expecting this.

After all, his terrifying improvement in strength was rare across the entire Huaxia Nation. It was only natural that Limit Martial Arts Hall would want to recruit him.

"Luo Feng, you came up through the Limit Martial Arts Hall in Yi'an District. You could say I was the one who set you on the path of a Martial Artist."

Instructor Jiang Nian patted Luo Feng on the shoulder again, his face beaming with pride as he continued,

"I won't beat around the bush. The first time you cultivated Genetic Origin Energy, your punching force increased by more than four thousand jin. Your speed and your results on the Neural Reaction Tester improved just as astonishingly.

"After evaluation, your talent definitely qualifies as super-genius level. You could even call it monster level.

"The whole Huaxia Nation might not produce another monstrous talent like you for years."

Luo Feng smiled faintly, thinking to himself, I'm already being called a monster?

Once I successfully awaken my Dragonblood Warrior bloodline and can transform into a Dragonblood Warrior, that'll be a truly shocking, monster-level existence.

"A monster genius like you will draw the attention of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, the Underground Alliance, and all the various families as soon as the Martial Artist Combat Assessment results are announced. They'll all be falling over themselves to invite you to join them."

Instructor Jiang Nian analyzed the situation with a confident smile.

"When that time comes, all sorts of generous offers might dazzle you and leave you unsure which way to turn.

"So I'd like to invite you to join Limit Martial Arts Hall now, ahead of time. Are you willing?"

Luo Feng didn't agree right away.

Seeing how composed Luo Feng was, Jiang Nian couldn't help admiring him. The kid was young, yet remarkably mature.

So he continued,

"Don't worry. Limit Martial Arts Hall will make you a good offer! When an ordinary Martial Artist joins, they get a villa and one million Huaxia Currency in startup funds.

"But for a genius like you, we'll naturally make an exception.

"Besides a villa, we'll give you twenty million in startup funds! We'll also provide you with a Guidance Technique, a Blade Technique manual, and a Movement Technique manual, all free of charge.

"As long as the total price of the three is under fifty million, you can have them for free."

After listing the terms, Jiang Nian looked at Luo Feng expectantly, only to find him still perfectly calm, as if the offer hadn't impressed him.

Jiang Nian grew anxious and quickly explained,

"Luo Feng, don't think the offer is too small.

"Actually, for a genius of your caliber, even I think these terms aren't good enough.

"But this is the highest level of authority the martial arts hall gives regional hall masters like us.

"Don't worry. Once I report your full details to the higher-ups, I'm sure they'll take you very seriously. They'll definitely improve the offer."

At that moment, Jiang Nian was nothing like his usual authoritative self as an instructor. He was practically groveling.

Luo Feng thought about how much Jiang Nian had helped him before. He'd already planned to join Limit Martial Arts Hall anyway, so he answered without hesitation,

"All right, Instructor. I agree. Sorry to trouble you with recommending me."

"Haha!"

Jiang Nian burst into hearty laughter.

"Good. I don't actually have the authority to let you join Limit Martial Arts Hall directly. A Martial Artist as monstrous as you needs to be reviewed personally by headquarters."

As he spoke, Jiang Nian took out his phone and softly said, "Headquarters." The phone immediately placed the call.

A moment later, a figure appeared on the screen.

"What is it, Jiang?"

The gray-haired old man on the screen smiled warmly as he asked.

"Uncle Bai."

Jiang Nian could barely contain his smile.

"I found a super genius in Yi'an District—a true genius! The first time he cultivated Genetic Origin Energy, his punching force increased by more than four thousand kilograms.

"His speed reached sixty-six meters per second, and his Neural Reaction Tester results were an astonishing Intermediate War General Level—perfect! He's absolutely a monster, a prodigy!"

"Oh?"

The gray-haired old man was taken aback by Jiang Nian's words and immediately pressed him for details.

"His punching force increased by more than four thousand kilograms on his very first try? How old is he?"

After all, in the world of Martial Artists, the older someone was, the less worthwhile they were to cultivate.

"Eighteen!"

Jiang Nian answered quickly.

"What? He's only eighteen?"

The gray-haired old man shot up from his seat, his voice rising several pitches in surprise.

"You'd better bring him to headquarters right away! I'll arrange for people to assess him immediately."

"All right. I'll head to headquarters now."

Jiang Nian hung up and turned to Luo Feng with a broad smile.

"Luo Feng, come with me. We're going to headquarters now."

"Yes, Instructor."

After leaving the martial arts hall, Instructor Jiang Nian used his Martial Artist privileges. He boarded the train with Luo Feng without buying tickets, and they sped toward the main urban district of Jiangnan City.

Jiangnan Base City, main urban district, Limit Martial Arts Hall!

Towering dark-blue skyscrapers stood here, their imposing presence a testament to the immense power of Limit Martial Arts Hall.

"This is Limit General Hall, the Jiangnan City headquarters of Limit Martial Arts Hall. Come on, let's hurry inside."

Jiang Nian led Luo Feng briskly toward the main entrance, and they soon entered the grounds of Limit General Hall.

The vast grounds looked like a sprawling park, with streams trickling beneath little bridges and rock gardens and flowerbeds arranged throughout.

Jiang Nian pointed to a skyscraper in the distance and said to Luo Feng,

"See that building? That's the Jiangnan City headquarters for the Martial Artists of Limit Martial Arts Hall!

"It's full of Martial Artists, including some very important figures.

"Luo Feng, you may be exceptionally talented, and you've already reached Advanced Warrior Level, but you're still young and lack real combat experience. In front of true powerhouses, you're just a rookie. So be sure to show them respect."

Jiang Nian smiled as he cautioned him.

They were about to reach headquarters, where anyone could outrank him. He was genuinely worried that Luo Feng, young and hot-blooded, might accidentally offend one of the important figures.

Luo Feng glanced in the direction Jiang Nian was pointing and casually took in the building. He saw hundreds of people.

At the Limit Martial Arts Hall in Yi'an District, there was only Jiang Nian and six instructors who were Martial Artists. Martial Artists were extremely rare there.

But here, they were everywhere, and powerhouses filled the place.

Luo Feng understood the current situation on Earth perfectly well. Hong and Thunder God had both reached the higher stages of Planetary Level. He was only just getting started and was still far from powerful enough. He needed to keep a low profile and quietly build himself up.

"I understand, Instructor."

Luo Feng answered respectfully.

Hearing his response and seeing his humble expression, Jiang Nian nodded in satisfaction.

"Good. You're a quick learner!"

After that, Jiang Nian explained the different ranks of Martial Artists in detail.

Martial Artists were divided into Warriors, War Generals, War Gods, and those Beyond War God.

Luo Feng already knew all of this, and in fact understood it even better than Jiang Nian.

Still, he listened humbly the whole way. Jiang Nian meant well, after all.

Jiang Nian knew that the chance to teach a peerless prodigy like this was once in a lifetime and would probably never come again. So he talked nonstop as they went, wishing he could pass on everything he knew to Luo Feng.

Before long, they reached the entrance to the martial arts hall headquarters, and Jiang Nian still felt he hadn't said enough.

"That's enough for today. Keep working hard and try to reach War General Level soon! You'll surely become the pride of Yangzhou City one day."

"All right."
